duty to rescue theme
The idea, found in some legal codes, that a person sometimes has a legal duty to come to the rescue of another person is discussed.
Examples
In "Vertigo" (1958), detective John Ferguson attends a hearing regarding Madeleine's death. The judge chastises John for the various ways in which John failed to intervene, and laments that the law unfortunately doesn't have much to say about actions never taken.
